Eugene, Ore., Company Uses Forest-Friendly Techniques to Make Recycled Paper.
Byline: Joe Harwood
Mar. 25--Carolyn Moran's Living Tree Paper Co. lives up to its name.
The tiny Eugene-based firm is on the cutting edge of forest-friendly paper making: Instead of using virgin wood pulp to make its printing, writing and specialty papers, Living Tree mixes imported industrial hemp and flax fibers with recycled office paper.
The result is a tree-free, chlorine-free product virtually identical in appearance and quality to standard white office paper.
"We don't use any new trees to make it," said Moran, the company's CEO. "And we don't use chlorine to make it white."
While use of recycled paper has soared in recent years, only a small handful of companies in the nation make and sell paper that contains industrial hemp.
Moran, who has a background in environmental activism, founded the company in 1994 with the aim of producing a "nonwood" paper that didn't require the denuding of forests and the use of caustic chemicals to turn wood chips into the opaque, soupy pulp that is dried and rolled into paper.
